Equal Justice Works also honored Stanford Law School Dean Larry Kramer with the John R. Kramer Outstanding Law School Dean award for his leadership of Stanford’s effort to make the law school more public service oriented. Under Larry Kramer’s watch, Stanford has expanded its clinical education program, pushed law students to pursue public service after they graduate, and built the international law program to support the increasing globalization of law practice.
